Chapter 79 Using Food Stamps for the First Time
Pan Ye was speechless beside him, thinking that this young master Lin seemed to be a master who was not very good at ordering.
(Lin Sanqi: I just want to taste the most authentic delicacies of this era. I must order more when I come here once in a while.)
So Pan Ye didn't look at the menu and said to the staff around him:
"Remove the four dishes of Yipinguanyan, Babel shark's fin, casserole fish maw, and braised skirt. They are flashy and will be eaten in two or three bites. The taste is just like that. It is mainly for fame. It is not cost-effective.
Let’s replace the dishes recommended later, which are all meat and hard dishes, which are good enough. Lin Sanqi, what do you think? ”
Lin Sanqi was a little surprised, thinking that this little girl just disliked the expensive food and looked like she had never seen the world. How could she be so general-like now and seem to be very familiar with Fengzeyuan's dishes.
"No, no objection, I'll listen to you."
The staff member took the order and smiled, looking at Lin Sanqi like a mallet:
"Comrade, when you go out from now on, you must not order the food yourself. Let your lover order it. She is a knowledgeable person."
As soon as these words came out, Pan Ye's face turned red, and he didn't look like he had just pointed out the situation.
Pan Cen, Pan Ren, Lin Jiageng, and Lin Zhenzhen also covered their mouths and started laughing.
Only Lin Sanqi was pleased to hear this and gave a thumbs up to the staff: "I think you are right. I will definitely listen to my wife in the future."
Pan Ye stepped on Lin Sanqi's shoes under the table, "Lin Sanqi, you are going to die!"
Lin Sanqi chuckled and deliberately changed the subject:
"By the way, it seems like this is your first time here at Fengze Garden. How come you are so familiar with ordering food?"
Pan Ye's shyness was indeed transferred:
"The specialty dishes of Shandong cuisine are countless, such as bird's nest and shark's fin. This stuff used to be eaten by the nobles in the palace, and later they followed suit. In fact, what nutrition does bird's nest have? It's just protein and carbohydrates. .
My father would take me to restaurants in the past. The restaurants in these four-nine cities mainly serve Shandong cuisine, so I am still familiar with it. I don’t know how rich you are, but you can’t waste it carelessly if you have money. ”
Pan Ye thought to herself, if Lin Sanqi, like her, goes to the night market to sell things in the middle of the night, where can she go if she has more money?
Even when it comes to having power, the real big courtyard brothers are all figures who were like yellow flags in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. How many of them are likely to go to the night market to endure hardships?
So in Pan Ye's mind, Lin Sanqi must have some small connection, otherwise where would there be so much tea?
I made a little money from selling the tea, but I was definitely not a wealthy family.
Lin Sanqi was convinced by Pan Ye's lesson.
I thought that this girl could be so sincere to me, a common friend, and help save money. It seemed that she was really a virtuous girl from IKEA and Ishi. I wonder which pig she could get cheaper in the future?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi felt a little bitter.
He definitely likes beautiful women, and he is particularly fond of Pan Ye, but Lin Sanqi is not sure how long his golden finger will last, or whether it will suddenly disappear one day.
If he married Pan Ye in 1959 and gave birth to several babies, if one day the "Anyone Gate" disappeared and he couldn't survive, then I can't imagine how Pan Ye and the children would live?
(Pan Ye: Bah, we have only known each other for a few days, and you have already thought about how many children you will have?)
After a while, the staff came over again:
"Comrade, this time your order will cost you a total of 63 yuan, and you will need 15 kilograms of food stamps. You see..."
In 1959, food stamps had only been implemented for a few years, so when you went to a restaurant, you only received food stamps, but when you ordered meat or dishes, you received double the food stamps. In 1961, when you order meat dishes in restaurants, you will have to pay extra for the meat. (I don’t know if the information I checked is accurate.)
Hearing this figure, the three Pan family siblings all stuck out their tongues. This is equivalent to a month's income of a fifth-level worker, and can only be described as sky-high.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself: What she ordered was not even the most expensive dish but it was already so expensive. She didn’t know where the people in the private room upstairs got the money and tickets to order those sky-high prices.
They must also be fake food stamps and banknotes, right? ..."Comrade, comrade?"
Seeing Lin Sanqi in a daze, the staff member thought it was because Lin Sanqi couldn't pay, and he wanted to laugh. Did the young man fail to show off?
If it were a private room on the second floor, the staff would never give the bill before serving the food, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
But for individual customers on the first floor, it is better to agree on the rules first, so as not to be unable to pay later and the losses will belong to the country.
Lin Sanqi came back to his senses and said nonchalantly:
"Okay, then pay the bill first, and you can also give us a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda. It would be best if it is iced. And give me two bottles of Maotai."
Arctic soda costs 10 cents a bottle and Moutai costs 8 yuan. Fengzeyuan does not need to provide alcohol tickets, so it is 2 yuan more expensive than the market price.
After saying that, Lin Sanqi had already taken out a roll of RMB and a roll of food stamps from his pocket, all tied with cowhide bands.
The staff's eyes widened when they saw this young man carrying so many money bills! ! !
The money is at least about 200 yuan, and the food stamps are more than 100 kilograms.
He doubted his eyes and wanted to rub them.
After decades of being a waiter, it stands to reason that I can tell at a glance whether someone is rich or poor, a human being or a ghost.
Why did I misjudge this time? This is not just rich, it is quite rich.
The key is that these days, only grandparents who have climbed the Snowy Mountains can have so much money and tickets. Even capitalists and Manchu elders cannot do it (they only have money but no tickets, such as Mr. Fu Zuo)
The young man in front of me turns out to be the son of a dragon, a low-key one who doesn’t go to the box.
(Lin Sanqi: I also want to go to the private room, but you need to have a certain level to go to the private room. Make a reservation in advance. I have the ability!)
Pan Ye was also shocked to see Lin Sanqi counting banknotes and food stamps one by one.
She wasn't that short-sighted, so she was tempted by this little money. She was just wondering who would bring so much money and tickets when going out with 250 yuan? If this was stolen, there would be no place to cry.
No matter what everyone thinks, Lin Sanqi feels very nervous and guilty at this time.
Money is real money, but food stamps are not necessarily real food stamps...
"Hey, comrade, this is 79 yuan and 60 cents in cash and 15 kilograms of food stamps. Can you order it?"
The staff took the food stamps and money, counted them and said with a smile: "Just right, let's serve the food!"
Lin Sanqi still couldn't hide her nervousness, pretending to be relaxed and waving her hand: "Hurry up and serve, I'm already hungry!"
Then Lin Sanqi watched with her own eyes as the staff took the food stamps to the cashier counter, and then the cashier randomly counted the quantities and put them into the cash cabinet and the food stamp cabinet respectively.
Lin Sanqi suddenly slumped down in his chair, knowing in his heart that the difficulty had been overcome. At the same time, he despised the staff these days for not having any sense of anti-counterfeiting.
If the staff knew about it, they would definitely kneel down in the wind, rain, thunder and lightning and yell:
Oh my god~~~
Who would have thought that someone would be brave enough to come to Fengze Garden and use fake food stamps~~~
